I had a month to try a plethora of black and white puddings when we visited Ireland/GB and I found a lot of tasty ones and alot of nasty ones. It seemed to be a crapshoot. Didn't try haggis, though.......... someday.... someday.....
Boil liver and parboil the onion, then mince them together. Lightly brown the oatmeal. Mix all ingredients together. Fill the sheep's pluck with the mixture pressing it down to remove all the air, and sew up securely. Prick the haggis in several places so that it does not burst. Place haggis in boiling water and boil slowly for 4-5 hours. Serves approximately 12.

* 1 cup dry rolled oats

My wife ordered boudin noir in Normandy when we were on holiday in France - she didn't know what it was until it showed up on the plate. She saw it, got a look of horror on her face, and said "That's blood sausage......."
She refused to eat it, so I got to. Have to say, it was the best black pudding I had in Europe.
